Question for you Suppliers here.

[Mikey P]

You know that Blue "swivel" grout brush?

How much do you charge for it?



I see one CC supplier asks over $28 for the thing and I wonder how and why they think it's worth that.

 

[TimP]

I can say that they break way too easy....very difficuilt to keep on the pole for sure. Plus they wear out pretty quick.

I'm ready for something else for sure.

Not really worth the price I agree....but I'm sure they price what they sell based on what it costs.

 

[Mikey P]

I've gone trough a dozen at least and never had one break.

 

[TimP]

If you tighten it on the pole the cap will crack easily....then it constantly falls off. If you don't tighten it enough then it falls off too so you're screwed. The actual brush don't break.....

Mike,

You are shopping at the wrong places.

We have them things for more than 10 bucks less.

 

[John Watson]

The white ones are a stiffer bristle and use a threaded handle.and there is the type Gary Heacock has that has a hand handle and also the threaded all way under 28 bucks

maybe he's into the "perceived value" angle like some of our friends

I only use the small blue one for hard to reach edges.....It is a good brush but it is way to spendy......

I tried the newer gray one but every time I used it I would lose more and more of the brush....

I use a larger stiff broom type ( like in the picture ) and it covers more area to scrub...it gets down into the grout lines and at home depot it is much cheaper then the little blue grout brush......

 

[Ron Lippold]

carbide brush on the 175 for the ones I have to scrub

 

[packfancjh]

Is that price with the handle or not. I carry that brush head for $17.95. I also have this one with the handle for $14.95

It's a little more aggeresive and has a threaded handle.

 

[Jim Martin]

that one molts...

 

[Greenie]

It's only the guys making $300,000 a year that bitch about a brush. I'll sell it to you for $10 if you'll quit your whining...you are gonna use it to make $5000 before you kill it anyways.

If you used floor stripper, you want need to pre-scrub!

Just spray on and rinse off

Mikey;

We carry both the blue model ($13.95)
and the stiffer white grout brush ($12.95).

I would have both on the truck.

The same clown sells rolls of Sticky Tabs for $25...

 

[MicahR]

18.00 for the blue head

9.00 for the white one

Since we started selling the white one it outsells the blue 3 to 1

I like Jim's idea using the larger brush

 

[Mikey P]

I hate the white one.

Way too stiff.

if he can get it, what's wrong with that?

there are jamokes out there knocking down $200-$300 an hour for encRapooing.
why can't distys gouge the sheet out of morons too?


one side effect of this BB, is all the distys tripping over each other to tell us how much le$$ their brush is.
:wink:

he11, you even got Greenie darn near giving his away now :mrgreen:

The white brush has bristles angled toward the ends. You need to cut the ends off the blue brush so the bristles aren't blocked.

They can sure try to bilk us jamokes but I wont bite.

Olsen's would never try that shit.

 

[Mikey P]

$28.50 for a $10.00 item?

I can only spread my legs so far.


Sorry.

 

[Chris Muetterties]

Where in the world can a cleaner get screwed like that ???

 

[Greenie]

damn...tried to yank Mikey, no bite.

Everyone charges what they need to, not everyone buys at the same level from the same vendor, that is one seriously misunderstood detail. At teh end of the day you either buy from the guy or don't.

ps: I don't even sell brushes.

How about blackout blinds?

Me likes that. Any particular stripper and dilution ration?.

Duct tape holds the blue one together for a while longer. The white one is too stiff but stays on thin grout joints better.

15.99 for the blue one. No one has ever said that they break because the were over tightend. These guys either loose them or they get ruined from throwing their shit on them.
